The course is a certified out-and-back, so you run the same stretch twice and always know where you stand. It is a straightforward route with no surprises, open to runners and walkers alike.
After the race, the party has food, live music, and activities for kids. There is also a produce display put together by local farmers and growers, which is worth a look before you head home.
